welcome to my blog!

My family & friends know that no matter where I go, I always carry a camera.

I believe that there is a story to capture in every moment...whether it is in an expression, an intimate look between a couple, a shared laugh among friends or a twinkle in the eye. Some of the most memorable photographs are the ones that are most natural, which leads to my photojournalistic approach when it comes to weddings & sessions. I love watching the day unfold. Anais Nin once said, "We write to taste life twice, in the moment, and in retrospection." If only she knew that photography would allow for the same.

I am also greatly influenced by fashion photography, so a lot of this inspiration shows in my work. My background in arts & design also contributes in large part to my style and aesthetics.

My aim is to give clients a sense of who they are & what makes their relationships extraordinary, all while having a fun time doing it! Perhaps they will see me through the photographs as well: a bit of spunk, boldness, chic + fun! At the very least, clients will be able to laugh at my awesome jokes! =)

Life moves at an incredibly fast pace, so I feel incredibly lucky to be able to freeze little moments in time. I feel very blessed to do what I love & love what I do, and I hope my passion and skills for photography and design show in my work!

I would love to hear from you! Please send me an email or use the form through the contact page to tell me more about yourself & what you are seeking. I look forward to connecting with you!

flower crowns are so pretty and love that lana decided to have one made for her maternity session! lana and hieu decided to have a romantic woodsy theme for their maternity portraits and i had suggested silverado canyon for their backdrop. we had fun trekking the woodsy area, it was a bit overcast that day which makes a beautiful softbox but the sun decided to come out during sunset and was the perfect ending to our day. here are some of my favorites from lana and hieu’s maternity session.

day two of the holiday mini sessions was full of love and fun! i love seeing previous clients and meeting their new family members and also meeting new clients and their wonderful families and also meeting new couples celebrating their engagement! my favorite part of my job is that i get to capture these special moments and being a part of my client’s lives during their session. here are some of my favorites from day two of the holiday mini sessions in southern california.
